If you had already walked through part of program and entered your kids, the child tax credit was added to your refund meter. When you entered that you already received part of it or all of it that you are eligible based on this years dependents claimed, it was deducted from your refund amount.
This happens with the recovery credit as well for some people.
You can remove it and look at your 1040 lines 16-31, then add it back and see exactly where the change is coming from. The Child Tax Credit is line 28. The stimulus is line 30.
You can preview your 1040 by selecting Tax Tools>>Tools>>Preview My 1040
